Default Pusher thrust angle?

How do you set the thrust angle on a pusher verses a front engine plane? Is it set the same way? New to pushers as you can see.

Thanks in Advance,
Pat

Default RE: Pusher thrust angle?

Looking at the side of the airplane, downthrust in either a tractor or a pusher means the propellor end of the engine will be be pointed down. Looking at the top of the airplane, right thrust in either a tractor or pusher means that the propellor end of the engine will be pointed right.

FYI; if a tractor engine is mounted behind the CG (like a Seawind or a Northstar) the thrust directions are reversed.
